With an attentive crowd of about 100 people, Bellegarde
explained his plan and vision for comprehensive, collaborative change to close
the gap. He outlined a six-point plan that discusses strengthening First
Nations communities, equitable funding for essential services, upholding treaty
rights, respecting the environment, revitalizing indigenous languages and
ensuring that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's 94 recommendations are
enacted.

Bellgarde calls on all Canadians to support closing the gap. The
gap between First Nations and Canada is the vast difference in the quality of
life experienced by First Nations people and non-Indigenous Canadians.

It is evident in statistics showing that half of First Nations
children live in poverty, life expectancy for First Nations citizens is five to
seven years less than other Canadians, more than 40,000 Aboriginal children and
youth are in foster care, and the more than 1,200 cases of missing and murdered
Indigenous women and girls. Closing the gap will create a more fair and just
Canada and add billions to the country’s economy.

At the lecture Bellegard explained why First Nations’ priorities
are Canada’s priorities and the AFN’s efforts to ensure that these priorities
are addressed during this federal election.
Liberal candidate Anthony Rota, NDP candidate Kathleen Jodouin, and
Green Party candidate Nicole Peltier were in attendance.

“The gap needs to be closed. It's been 35 years since it
has been addressed and it's not in the best interests of our country to keep it
that way. There is a high social cost to this gap,” said National Chief
Bellegarde. “You need to get out and vote. The First Nations vote matters, our
issues matter. Find out which political party is willing to close the gap.”

Bellegarde is using the federal election as an opportunity to
bring First Nations' issues to the forefront.
He has sent his document to the leaders of the four main parties.
Responses have been promised.

“October
19 [Federal election voting day] is so important. Our people, our voice and our
vote will matter,” said Bellegarde. “This is an important election and every
vote crucial.”​
